Luperci Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 3 minutes ago, Ejecutor said: Probably FS or ID would get a release wave earlier, indeed, but as an overall faction, S2D seem way safer than those, IMO. Both CoS (since the new release) and S2D seem to be the base of many stories nowadays and I think this would be the new ground where most of the lore will start or take place. Oh I should've read @Starfyre's original post better I slightly misunderstood I think. I always start projects either as new stuff comes out, or if I know a new release is coming imminently (back in 2017 I got into csm before the big range refresh happened, with raptors and stuff that wasn't gonna go away). I started KB since they were all new and I got some DoK because of krethusa and the potential for malerion coming at some point next edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight into my Lethis Elden Ring themed Headless Demigod army. Fingers crossed it's a nicely sculpted sizable model 🤞 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem I see is the crow being the same all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better look at the images from the newsletter: I find it curious how the back side of the axe simulates the ruination flames. Also, the Gryph-Stalker is clearly a crow. For the Skavens one, I find it interesting that he has a spear made of warpstone: The Gryph stalker looks a Crow because the "weird" prospective but it has 4 legs indeed.

Yeah true, I had thought about using the chargers from the vanguard palladors but they're expensive and I'd need 2 boxes for 1 unit of warlocks since they only come in 3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fimirs return, it will be with a strong retcon of their background that, let's be honest, isn't really "safe for everyone". There's some really dark stuff in there. I guess they'd make a nice Warcry band, easy to insert in Slaves to Darkness (they're pretty much the oldest worshippers of Chaos Powers), rather than a whole army right out of the hat. Fimir already got a rewrite, with them being now in destruction and just normal egg laying without the bad stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also was only recently that I realised there is a bird skull on thr armour for the Stalker but now I realise it is also on the knee of the Stormcast. I wonder if this is only on this unit or a reoccurring theme with other Ruination units. It would be very interesting if it is connected with Morrda especially since her connections with escaping Nagash and warding against death tie in with Stormcast.

pitzok Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) I'd really like to see new fimir, honestly for any game. I crave a celtic folklore inspired army (I was gonna do celtic beasts before the cull) and nothing is scratching my itch. I'd buy them up for kill team, there's a lot of squandered potential in them not creating any minor xenos and factions for that game. They could be similar to pisceans created by Dead earth.

It is not only on the Lord Vigilor, I would say. The other Ruination dude has the same crow skull in the shoulder. I think is the "animal" picked for the Ruination. If you sum that to the other theme being the skulls, they opted for crow skulls. EDIT: Confirmed. EDIT 2: Also noticed that the icon from the forehead of the cover dude is displayed on the "chainmail tabard" from the pic above. So it looks like it is somehow linked to the ruination chamber or an important rune/ sigil for that chamber.

Clan's Cynic Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) About the 4chan """leak""", I remember watching the recent Metawatch for Underworlds and them saying that it's never been more popular. It could just be marketing talk coming out of their mouths, but it's not like GW say things like that overly often despite all their PR chatter. It's also not the wildest statement if they're going off model sales - we know that even if the game itself isn't being played, people generally love UW for paint projects. It would be a strange move to suddenly decide to take it out back if it's doing as well as claimed. Plus, it's already had an established 'rotation' for semi-old sculpts in a way that most other systems don't, which would be a point in it's favour already if GW's concerns are with trimming down the amount of models they produce and store in a warehouse. Finally it's 4chan slash /tg/ and how often are leaks from there ever actually reliable? 1/10 times, if that?

Dragon-knight77 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) I just notice something. With Scylla and Valkyia gone Khorne has almost no name human (i know demon prince still counts). You have Khul who might just become a demon prince and Skarr Bloodwrath geez they really want you to play demons if you want to go mono-god (unless your slaanesh).

Im still wondering why they trying to depict the 1 edition armor as this skinny fit form armor when it completely the opposite direction their going with the models. Honestly that image doesn't do it justice as 1e armor look better then the ruination or Thunderstrike armor they're trying to sell just because it actually look like she fit in it then the bulky "im poking my head out in my dad armor" Edited April 10 by Dragon-knight77 forgot to add image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why the model has been represented like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope for the bloody new model Tzaangors and kairics aren't daemons and that's like half of the tzeentch army list. Unless you're just talking about mortal characters, but even then tzeentch has the curseling, tzaangor shaman and magisters. Khorne has plenty of bloodbound mortals too, like an insane amount of foot characters still leftover from 1st ed lol. I'll grant that nurgle only really has the blightkings though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unless your talking about the underworld team there very little mortal character in the mono gods and the curseling is a demon Edited April 10 by Dragon-knight77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verminentious Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Are there even any rumours of AOS factions coming back to Old World aside from legacy rules? I feel at this point they are never coming back based on the rumours I keep hearing about internal trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, she is from WHFB but she's also a demon and not affected by mortality. Wouldn't be surprised if she comes back in a much bigger, Daemon Prince-size miniature if GW decides to keep her. After all, Sigvald made it that way. Edited April 10 by Sarouan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then posted the "hungry" post. I suspect they know something to do with Ogors. Thank you I missed that post. This is the problem after removing one Faction, we all worry ours is next. Too much stress in the real world to worry about plastic soldiers!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
